How is Internet or any TCP comnmunication different than a real phone, or a letter ? As far as I can tell to watch over and tap your phone or letter authroity need a special judge writing. So why suddenly Internet which is only another form of communication , is soooo different that it need to be surveyed in real time ?
Second, any terrorist communicating message not encrypted over, hidden in picture or other data, or using a code word system is already a dead or arrested terrorist. How THIS system is supposed to rpeevtn another 9/11 when the FAILURE of theuautorithy was to INTERPRET THE DATA and NOT get the data ?
Call me a paranoid , but if you control the communication between people, you control the people too. It looks more like population control than terrorism fight.
To answer your question Kisrael, I started with ASM (to udnerstand how the beast functionned inside) then learned pascal (2.0 ?) later. Basic ? Never used it until I was in school, and really, It was only for 6 monthes until the school switched to pascal.
My first game was U5. On a PC. Soon after I started learning programming. For me it did *go* hand in hand. be creative and play.
If people by only console to their kids it will remain just that : A toy. PC have the enorm advantage that you can use them for some, anything, else.
My bet ? My generation had a lot of kido starting learning programming on PC. The next won't, Console will be widespread, and thus less and less kids will go for the IT industry.
And console don't make a kid/teen/young adult get acquinted to technology per see, as using a MW oven don't make you acquinted with Electromagnetic physic. Our Kids will be as "technology analphabete" as our aprents...
Because people would simply switch to the other char and play it a minimum time and then leave it in the dark for 25 days. Et Voila !
personally whatever the decision ground8economical, buisness, Customer support, $$$) I don't care. i think it is a good idea because so much things screwing the conomics of the game which put me off in other RPG are simply higher level char having a quasi monopoly on goods and all stuff on alts.
Now if *everybody* is limited to 1 char... Then one can hope to balance economy a bit better.
I wasn't interrested in SWG. Now I am !
Where do you think engineering got its grade ? Without the equation of physic and science engineering would not go past the "try and retry again randomly until it looks OK".
Engineering IS NOT independant of science. It is one of its Offspring : application of scientific law (be it physics, mathematic or biology).
You mean, as in recharge over thousdand, say , millions of year ? Surely. Recharge over 10 years [economic lifetime interrest] ? Seeing the process and quantity involved , I think you better fund such a claim.

... Is the day democracy died. Corporation aren't people. You may want to take them into account *as a side effect* of taking care of people, as in , taking care of the economy, but they should never take stake before people. Remmember. The governement is here for the *whole* not for special interrest. That is the theory. The practice is that people are "forgotten" and corporation rules. And I thougth that Gibson's neuromancer was too far away, or all this cyberpunk roman where corporation rules...
Is it the people which made what america is , with their Spirit of discovery and free enterprise, or is it the corporation ? Corporation are not "that" old, and they are only a result of the "free enterprise" spirit. Corporation are formed by the people. Don't give more credit to corporation than they really should get.
All or nearly all country from the western block says they are republic/democracy but in reality they are all Plutocracy (money has more power than vote).
Easy. Just don't eat for a week or so as to get a terrible face, don't sleep either. Then shave completly your head. Your face will be gaunt and you *will* looks like a cancer patient. Then wait that a few false alarm happen in the media, go in the subway.
When the alarm sound have some faked paper about a cancer treatment by radiation. When the guy come to you jsut show the paper. Chance are that in a year or so after so much false alarm they let you thru after seeing you (now really bad looking and not looking like a terrorist).
Think the scenario is far etched ? Think again. Human can also be pavlov trained to ignore false alarm if they come too often. That is why setting a detection level in an alarm is a science in itself.
There is a lot of study on cross pollinisation and inter specy gene jumping. This is also why EU has some "fear" of GMO:

Sorry I don't know HTML to transform an URL into link. PS: you will find a lot of such link in google, just go past the first few page.
Maybe you are right, but the study on cross polinisation make a lot of people kinda warry in EU, and a lot of people there says that definitly 3 or 4 years was not enough to study the complete "life" cycle and possible jump a gene might make between plants, and the possible bad results of , say, a gene resisting desherbant into a wild specy.
And when such SLOPYNESS comes to light, I can certainly give reason to people asking for more study of impact.
Flag me as a troll, but I have the feeling that a lot of anger from 95% of the world towawrd USA is just because the good old USA are putting their "paw" in various country where they are not welcome or called for, but qwhere they have economics or political interrest.
Quote "Check your history, America isn't the worlds police. We don't go around saving everyone, it's their job to save themselves. We don't have to "give a shit", but if you would like us too then I suggest you give us a reason to "give a shit" by not strapping bombs to your chest and going kamakazi through grocery stores and bus stations."
Maybe you should give a shit by either dropping support for dictatorial or opressing regime, and TOTALLY retract from world interraction or TOTALLY use your power to correct all stuff with a bit of ethics. No an half way thru.
We could come with an ink or a special chip to implemeant under the front skin which would automatically be triggered by a radio reader, then coupling those with a camera at airport and OCR, et voila ! Let us also had automatic weapon to shoot at the would be criminal if the tag is recognized as "terrorisT" or unreadable...
Ho wait a minute.... You did wrote "sarcasm" in your post. Never mind.
* Historical Reason : Most people only want to learn one OS at most, except maybe a minority of interrested Geeks. So people learn windows at works then just use the same at home.
* Easyness of use. Even if linux get better , let us be real. Installation and usage of windows is far easier for people which know nothing of PC. Furthermore again due to historical reason everybody can tweak a bit of windows or know someone which can.
* Games ! Applications ! Plus this is the same applications than at works, emaning you don't need to learn two software to do the same things. Need I say more ?
* All that which anger OOS suporter (API non disclosure, Monopoly, blatant skewing of market power to force the hands of people, new licence scheme) is completly LOST on non-geek people. This is a sort of "negative" argument.
* and due to the above points, the mega super argument it comes already installed on the PC of first time user, and thus unless geek they will stay on that forever.
There was recently quite an uproar about "people" being interpreted as "US citizen" and thus foreigner not being protected by the contistution. Funny how it does contradict your post,I jsut had to point it out.
She was already in telephonic contact with the person. So if ther email had bounced back, there would have been chance that the person CALLED her. It did not so neither the Sender , nor the receiver were aware an email was sent/not read.
And as such , the telco is responsible to either completly block the service or completly allow it. Not an half way.
EU is a free market zone. That is nobody can forbid you to buy car, nintendo game, or whatever in a EU country and resell it in another country for Cheaper. Car dealer and Nintendo did. that is why they were fined. they did not respect the law. And we as people see the money back. in form of infrastruture and other stuff. the same way when somebody is fined by the local governement but on EU scale.
Quote "For instance, violent games may encourage some people to "let out their anger" rather than reason through it and learn what is making them angry".
On My planet (Earth) People don't reason, they use violence first then try to work out reasonable reason for having used their violence (if they *ever* to begin to try to work out anger...). People rape, kill, torture, make war, steal, and you know what EN MASS ? They never saw a video game once. So before trying tos earch for the lowest inducing denominator in violence, how about trying to solve the biggest violence triggerer ? Like social condition, depsarration, greed, and so forth ?
Ho wait, too hard. So let us displace people attention on something we can control better rather than Human's inehrent violence.
Sorry if this come as a flamebait or anything, but I think there ae for more to change in human's befoe starting on some pesky things like the slight posssibility that video game may eventually in some case trigger a "liberation" of anger in real life (*snicker*).
PS: this is not directed at you but at all media, people and so forth broaching the subject.
Those would supprot the right to express an ENLIGHTED and WELL FORMED opinion backed by LOGIC. To say that they would have supproted blattant spitting of hate is to really demenure them. They msut be turning in their grave each time anybody try to use them to support Total freedom of speech. What they supported was freedom of expression. Not quite the same if you get my drift.
And saying that to a french he will probably laugh aloud. Now we ARE embarassed by our present (aka Chirac and other politics that many consider overly corrupted).
Second you are judging with your culture, within your law mindest. We have a different culture and law, and I find it perfectly normal, no, DESIRABLE, to supress some information on spreading hate and murder. You find it sick ? *shrugs* your opnion. But a strangely biased one considering the horror the KKK has done/is doing.
Bottom line : You have freespeech but are forbidden to scream "fire fire " in a theater. We forbid to scream "Black are bad ! Kill 'em all ! kill the abrotion doctor ! Kill ! Heil !". Same difference.
Well private property maybe, but not quite firm property. How many firms did simply drop their dioxine in water ? Bury cyanide and other polluant ? Remmember Seveso ? What cares cow cattler or goat/pig herder that the water under their farm is undrinkable due to various polluant concentrateed by their cattle ? What you say is *ONLY* true of people living on their land. The rest (farmer or even worst , firms which do not exploit the land but have to be situated somewhere) usually won't care unless the govt rub their nose in it by health law on maximum polluant tolerable in earth/water. And IMO, that is why current Bush's politic to make pollution and reduction of polluant a desisater. A lot of firm have simply no incencitive at all to reduce their pollution , because they have no direct link to public (so PR don't work) and it would simply eat at their benefice without bringing them anything on the plus side.
Until they had a really good absis to begin with, USA did not respect any intellectual property at all. this was only at the end of the 19th century, beginning of the 20th when they began to have soem advance that they began to really think hard on intellectual property.
And now that they seems to have a big advance, they wnt to "lock out" of the system the concurrence. thus WIPO, thus pressure to rise IP protetcion decennies, thus other pretty law.

If you pay for a tailored product , then you should get the source code. Point.
Now if this is a comercial distributed product , this is another kind of problem and what you said above apply.
